5 reasons to trade Chris Brown NOW (1 Viewer)

[NoCheese]

I think where a player was drafted plays a major role in pulling off "big" trades. In my experience, owners seem to hold some form of sentimental value to their top draft picks. An example would be myself trying to trade Thomas Jones and Eric Moulds for Torry Holt after week 3. Now, value-wise, I'm greatly overpaying for an upgrade at receiver and the other owner (IMO) gets a great deal, but because of where the other owner drafted Holt (mid second round) he was NOT willing to part with him for players that I drafted later than that.

I agree with this. For a savvy owner, though, he/she SHOULDN"T have a sentimental attachment to a high pick. If I drafted Travis Henry, I'd be shipping him out in a trade regardless of his draft position

Good point. I said the same thing on page 1 of this post.

Of course we should trade him for Portis Duece and Edge. They were all #1 draft picks this year. Brown I got as a #3 pick. I doubt anyone will give you those 3 guys but hell I would jump all over them if I could get them. When did Brown go ahead of those 3 as far as guys you want?

Edge is the only one I'd want ahead of Brown. Deuce would be close. Portis not so much. Brown is the #2 rusher in the NFL, has shown big play ability, and has a reasonably favorable schedule from here on out. Why would YOU want Portis or DM ahead of Brown?COlin

I'm aiming for Alexander, personally. I'm packaging Brown + a WR for SA.

So you would rather have Brown over those other guys? I wish you were in my league geesh.

Did you read the post? What part of "I'm aiming for Shaun Alexander, personally. leads you to believe that I'm trying to acquire Brown over Alexander?

[ScoobyDoo]

A players "value" as I understood is directly proportional to his ADP. Taking that at face value Brown is one of the great steals of this years fantasy drafts hands down because he is clearly "outperforming" his draft position.Contrast that with Kevan Barlow, Clinton Portis, and even a Jamal Lewis who are not performing up to their draft positions.In fact I would argue that Chris Brown is the MVP of the first 6 weeks of fantasy football even with the two halves that he missed due to injury.

 

[BuckeyeArt]

Let me preface this thread by saying that I'm not suggesting trading Chris Brown just to trade him, but if you can get an equal back (Portis, Deuce, Edge, etc) I'd strongly consider it and take my chances with them.

This next quote by ThinkQuick should put this thread to rest:

No one is going to trade you Edge or Alexander or Deuce or Priest or LT straight up for Chris Brown. . . I wish I could upgrade all my players on a 1 for 1 basis too, but I can't. . . Unless you're trading with a dolt, you'd have to give away more than you got in return so you can get a "name-brand" RB like Priest or Deuce. And to borrow a line from you... When will people learn that YOU DONT HAVE TO SELL A PLAYER HIGH JUST TO SAY YOU DID IT.

 

[Colin Dowling]

I would trade him str8 up for Edge, Holmes, SA, and LT2.I might trade him str8 up for Martin or MossI would consider trading him for a package including Portis .I don't think I'd entertain offers that included anyone else.

Colin-I completely agree. Just because I'd rather have Dillon and Droughns over him (as well as the 6 other backs you mentioned) I'd only trade him straight up for Edge, Holmes, SA, LT2, and Martin. Portis/Deuce/Dillon/Droughns I have ranked higher but I wouldn't do straight up deals for Brown. I'd need to give up an average WR for a Top 10 WR as part of the trade, similar to what I did when I traded Brown/Coles for Portis/Andre Johnson.

I personally would not trade Brown for Dillon or Droughns unless there was some significant "extras" thrown in. My expectation for Brown is Eddie George from 2 years ago - 12 TDs, good yardage, top 10 FF production.I think that there is some value to be had in this thread in trying to evaluate what value Brown has compared to his peers. IN my opinion, he has two negatives: 1 - he's left 2 games early to injury. 2 - He still has his bye coming up. Other than that, I don't see the downside that some others see.COlin

5 reasons to trade Deuce

3. Tough run defenses in upcoming schedule - plays Atlanta TWICE, San Diego, Denver.

TRADE DEUCE NOW!!!

:rotflmao: Not if they give up 8 rushing TDs per game

 

[Broncofan]

Dealing with brown depends on your situation. For, I drafted Brown and two huge bust RB's (taylor and henry), so I am stuck with him. Some of you may have drafted Priest, thomas jones and brown, so you can trade him to upgrade your WR or QB situation. I, personally, need to hold onto brown because many of my leaguemates feel the way many of you do, that brown is an unproven injury risk. This is true, to a degree. But the notion that someone will trade you a guy like edge straight up for brown... why would anyone do that? Who trades RB for RB? You deal from strength to shore up weakness. If you have a ton of RB's and Brian Greise as your QB, you trade chris brown for a QB. If you have Andre Davis as your #1 WR, you trade Chris Brown for a WR. How does trading RB for RB make sense?

I had an owner in my league offer me Brown for Taylor last week. I took his offer, and didn't do so well this week, but I am happy with the move (folks DO offer RB for RB trades).BTW all that crap between LHUCKS and everyone really made me chuckle. I might point out that LHUCKS was "called out" on the first page of this thread by more than one member...I guess you got what you were looking for.

Dump Crystal Brown while you can!

 

[royalflush]

I'm going to address a couple of points I have seen in this thread.1) In relation to Brown leaving two games early due to injuriesAgainst Miami, Jeff Fisher said had the game been closer or the Dolphins posed any threat, Brown would have been able to play in the second half. It was merely precautionary. I know that doesn't help fantasy owners, but tough crap. Are you all going to go out and trade Priest because he should have had EIGHT TDs Sunday?2) No one trades a RB for a RB straight up. I didn't exactly do this, but I would have. I was offered Fred Taylor plus for Domanick Davis. The guy had a player he wanted to pick up and the only way to do it was to make a 2 for 1 trade. This was actually a 3 for 1, but I would have taken Taylor for Davis straight up. 3) No one would trade Deuce McAllister for Brown. I own them both. I would rather have Brown. 4) Ranking Droughns ahead of Brown.I don't see how anyone can argue this point. Brown may not be the most experienced, proven player in the NFL, but Droughns has played TWO games. TWO people. I am certain if I offered Brown for Droughns in my keeper league, the other owner would jump through the phone to shake my hand before I could clear my brain of whatever substance I was taking that would allow me to make such an insane offer.

Why - b/c Brown had a bad game after MCNAIR left the Titans' offense in the dumps due to his injury? You annoint LHUCKS a seer?

Marc, also I believe that Brown has a Turf toe and will go in for an MRI. It looks like At. Smith might get a shot. This really hurts the Brown owners. IIRC, the Titans have this week, then a bye week. If you dropped a high pick on this guy, it would be rough. Not quite as bad as those that pick Griffin early.

Turf toe? Not saying that I don't believe you, but do you have a link to this info? Volek being in next week does hurt Brown's value, but I have to believe that McNair is going to be ready to go again by week 10. I hope...

think it is erroneous info.I just read the transcript of Fisher's post-gamenews conference and there is nothing there - nor on the Blogger - and no news agencies are reporting this info.If it is true, it had to be from the radio sometime in the last half hour or else it would be reported more widely.

Very likely situation given the fact that they are fools if they allow McNair to start next week.Next week's game should be a "punt" to get them to the much needed bye week of rest.

Chris Brown - RB - Titans Chris Brown was diagnosed as having turf toe, and he will not practice this week."He has a turf toe," coach Jeff Fisher said. "We're actually doing an MRI on it right now. In all likelihood, he will not practice this week." Fisher will await results of Brown's MRI before examining his status further. Nervous Brown owners should pick up Antowain Smith in deep leagues.

[wannabee]

Don't worry. I am sure he will be listed as Questionable this week, and maybe McNair, too.
